– Push the nail strip forwards in the magazine until the last
nail is positioned in front of the magazine spring (17).
Note: A lock function of the magazine slider prevents the
power tool from being started with an empty magazine. The
discharge lock-off cannot be pressed down and blank firing
is thus prevented.
– Press the pretensioned nail pusher (14) against the
magazine slider (13) and, at the same time, pull the
magazine slider completely to the end of the
magazine (12).
Note: The magazine slider must slide back with only low
force (finger-pressure). A tight-running magazine slider
causes the nails to be driven in at an incorrect angle.
– With the nail pusher (13) pressed, carefully guide the
magazine slider (14) forwards until the nail pusher is over
the last nail, thus pushing the nail strip in the magazine
completely to the front.
Note: Do not let the magazine slider snap back without guid-
ing it. This could damage the magazine slider and there is a
risk of getting your fingers caught.
Operation
Actuation systems
Single actuation with safety run
With this actuation system, the discharge lock-off (2) must
first be firmly pressed against the workpiece. A fastener is
not discharged until the trigger (5) is pulled.
Afterwards, further discharging procedures can only be ac-
tuated when the trigger and the discharge lock-off have been
set back to the starting position.
Contact actuation with automatic return
(GNH 18V-64 M)
With this actuation system, the trigger (5) must be pulled
first and held in this position. Afterwards, the discharge
lock-off must be firmly pressed against the workpiece in or-
der to discharge the fastener. (5)Further discharging pro-
cedures can be actuated by repositioning it elsewhere, while
the trigger is pushed.
In contact actuation mode, a nail can also be driven in with
single actuation.
Starting Operation
Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
u
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
Inserting the Battery
– Push the charged battery (7) into the battery bay of the
power tool until the battery is securely locked.
Switching On and Off (see figure B1B2)
– To switch on the power tool, press the on/off switch
button (18) for at least 1 second.
Bosch Power Tools
The on/off switch display (19) lights up green.
GNH 18V-64 M: If single actuation is activated, the
display (20) lights up white.
– To switch off the power tool, press the on/off switch
button (18) for at least 1 second.
Discharging the nails – single actuation (see
figure B1B2)
– Switch on the power tool.
– Firmly position the outlet (15) or the rubber workpiece
protector (1) on the workpiece until the discharge lock-
off (2) is pressed down completely.
– Afterwards, briefly press the trigger (5) and release it
again.
This discharges a nail.
– Allow the power tool to bounce back from the workpiece.
– For another driving procedure, completely lift the power
tool from the workpiece and position it firmly at the next
required location.
Discharging the nails – contact actuation (see figure B1)
(GNH 18V-64 M)
– Switch on the power tool.
– Activate the contact actuation by briefly pressing the on/
off switch button (18).
The contact actuation display (21) lights up white.
– Press and hold the trigger (5).
– Firmly position the outlet (15) or the rubber workpiece
protector (1) on the workpiece until the discharge lock-
off (2) is pressed down completely.
This discharges a nail.
– For another discharging procedure, keep the trigger (5)
pressed and completely lift the power tool from the work-
piece. Replace it firmly in the next required position.
Working Advice
Remove the battery from the power tool before carry-
u
ing out work on the power tool (e.g. maintenance,
changing tool, etc.). The battery should also be re-
moved for transport and storage. There is risk of injury
from unintentionally pressing the on/off switch.
Before starting work, always check that the safety and actu-
ation devices are functioning correctly and that all screws
and nuts are tightly seated.
If a power tool is defective or not functioning properly, dis-
connect it immediately from the power supply and contact
an authorised Bosch after-sales service centre. .
Do not perform any incorrect manipulations on the power
tool. Do not disassemble or block any components of the
power tool, such as the discharge lock-off.
Do not carry out "emergency repairs" with unsuitable means.
The power tool is to be maintained regularly and properly.
Avoid any tampering and damage to the power tool, e. g.
from:
– Imprinting or engraving,
– Retrofitting measures not approved by the manufacturer,
